Colchester Kev when I saw your post I had to log inn and post I really appreciate your nice comments.
I do swing by here to see what is happening I think you guys are a great community and I respect every ones point of view no matter of what they think of me.
In terms of the donation I was lucky enough to be in a position to give some away but it still hurts
believe me if you don't you all should try it. I wanted to give enough so that it would sting its a nice feeling and yes sure I want people to know I did it and that I will do it again. To me poker is a sport a game of skill and something that I found in life that I could do well its not about the money its about poker being what it is that is why I feel great for giving some away.
Important note about Surinder this is a fact:
Me and Surinder had no history and have no history I truly respect the guy he is a deserving champion he took what I had to offer he beat me I respect him, we are friends we had dinner in Paris on day one of WPT 2006 we talk to each other we have gone to Sauna together at he Bellagio the guy is top notch one of the best players there is.
Hope you guys let me post here every now and again and everyone play good poker I am after all of you in a big way when I meet you in any tournament I play, I will surely rip you all appart and take everything you have.
If the fat lad thinks you are sound then you can't be the ogre people make you out to be . So well done that man and good stuff with the donation, don't give a monkeys about the motivation a lot of money went to people who really need it.
Only other point is that it's obviously been a while since you updated that avatar. From what i have seen you haven't been a stranger to a fish supper since then.
